....

Okay, I give. Who knows something fun a girl can do in this town?

I bet that guy from PoliSci would have known something. I wonder if he's still around... Don't think so.

I swear, if it's not being distracted it's having my computer give me issues. I've gotten an old laptop of mine up and running, but my actual tower-- y'know, the one with all of my work on it-- has decided to go the way of the dodo if I leave it on for anything longer than twenty minutes.

Obnoxious, that.

Anyway, I should be set enough while I look into getting it fixed. And this won't hurt my schoolwork. I know well enough to make backup copies, after all.

What a time to be sick.

Don't worry, Roomie. If I stay in the room, it'll just bounce back and forth between us until the end of time, so I'm checking into a hotel for the duration. I have more than enough savings to cover it, and I probably won't be too much more than... I'd say a week. I don't want to wake you at ungodly hours running to vomit, so.

Not missing class for this. I'll just go medicated.

...Censorship? Isn't this a violation of our rights?

[Chinese] Something needs to be done about this. It's unforgivable, to limit our freedoms as part of a 'lesson'.[/Chinese]

Well. Got my grade for the presentation I did in PoliSci. It's not bad at all-- nothing Auntie'd be upset with me for--, but I want to do better. I'll have to corner the professor and find out how to do better next time. What's trying if you don't do the best, after all?

They're trimming down my hours at the shop; Gu-Mu's friend says it's so I can focus on my grades. I might use it to study a bit more and try to figure out a system that doesn't drive me crazy. It's too bad I can't drink, really. Because we're only a bit in, and I'm already kind of edgy.

...I wonder if there'll be class officer elections eventually?

....And then the flower shop was slammed for that weekend. I don't think I've pricked my finger as many times as I have this time around. It totally figures-- and with classes and rehearsal, I've been near-dead. Today's my first day off with nothing to do in a long time.

...I'm kind of bored, actually. I need to go out more. Is there a club or something around here?

....It's nice to know gentlemen still exist. You'll have to show me some of the other restaurants next time. I've got nothing but time, if this homework load is representative of the rest of the year.

Onto other subjects: the play. I hope they don't stick too closely to the gender roles. I've always loved Tybalt, since I first read Romeo and Juliet.

Besides, the fight scenes would be fun.

Classes are classes; they're just starting, so I don't have much to complain about. Teachers are interesting, most of my classmates are pretty okay (except that one guy; god, what a douche), subjects are as yet relatively easy. There's not much to report, sadly-- work at the flower shop is going well and I'm glad Gu-Mu's friend had the opening.

I guess I should feel obliged to tell everyone there'll be a sale this Sunday, huh?

[OOC: Duke-mun, how do we want to assume the dinner went, or do you want to log, or...? Is wholly up to you. :)]

First period was interesting. It only stands to reason that there be at least one idiot who should be using safety scissors and fingerpaints. But my teachers seem pretty cool. The math teacher is... interesting.

I have more unpacking to do, and a letter to write home. I really do have to convince Gu-mu to buy a telephone.

Well, then.

Here I am, far away from Gu-mu at last. I think this'll be a real improvement over high school-- I'll actually be able to study what I like, to stay out when I need to, and most importantly, to make friends I won't get lectures about.

I'm kind of excited! I've gotten somewhat settled in after the trip, and this place is really different from home. Greener. Nicer. I'm looking forward to doing well here and actually getting out and having a social life that doesn't suck.

Well, no more than it used to, anyway.

Anyway, I don't know why I brought this sewing machine with me. It's a bitch to lug up stairs. But I guess it'll come in handy...

Testing.
